The Rock Lake Difference is based on a philosophy of individual client attention.

Opportunity Assessments – analysis of inorganic and organic opportunities for investment (minority investments, structured M&A, acquisitions, etc.) or internal pursuit (development, implementation, etc.)

Partner Landscaping – developing an awareness of prospective partners/affiliates, inclusive of customers, collaborators, (strategic) investors, acquirers

Material Development – creating professional materials to be used for board meetings, partner/strategic outreach, investor outreach, recruitment, etc.

Partner Outreach – building targeted relationships with prospective partners, following a carefully designed systematic process to maximize efficiency, limit risk, build relationships, and optimally structure deals.

Innovation Planning – we have developed a set of skills and tools that are transferrable to your organization’s innovation planning, inclusive of strategic and partner prioritization and planning

Market Research – if it’s already been done, we find it (“secondary” reports) and assess whether its worth the price (preview: it’s commonly not!). If not already done, or inadequate, we manage the collection of primary market research by drawing upon our network of experts.
